This blog is solely written to convey the many thoughts and feelings I, Alicia Marie, experience throughout my day to day life. Along the way, I hope to bring my readers something they can relate to. My purpose is to make people smile, and to cry (tears of joy, that is), and to make them feel like they're not alone in this world.

Hartley Baby Adoption Fund

Alright ladies and gents... here it goes!

After much contemplation, I have decided to add a "Donate" button on the side of my blog for the "Hartley Baby Adoption Fund." As many of you would guess (and many know), adoption is not cheap. Luke and I have set up a specific savings account for our adoption fund. We put all extra money (excluding paychecks) into this savings account. For any birthday, holiday, or special event that people would normally give gifts for, we're asking for a donation to our adoption fund. We want more than anything to be parents to a very deserving child somewhere out there (and soon to be born!). We have so much love and compassion to give, and we would LOVE to be parents to a beautiful child!

With this said, I ask you to consider (please don't feel obligated!) donating to one of the best (for us, at least) causes out there...ADOPTION! If you or someone you know has known the joy of adoption and would like to help us, we would be MORE than appreciative!

If you (or someone you know) donates to our adoption fund, please leave me a comment letting me know! I want to be able to send a personal THANK YOU card from Luke and myself for your contribution to completing our family!

If you are not able to contribute to our adoption fund, please keep us in your prayers! Beyond the money we have to raise, we want the Lord to bless our home and our efforts in growing our family.

We may not have all the money in the world, but we have so much love to give!

**A PROMISE**

We promise, with the Lord as my witness, that this post is genuine and heartfelt. Any and ALL information provided in this post is legitimate and the complete truth. We will not take your money and blow it on drugs, alcohol, or anything of that nature. We promise that all funds go DIRECTLY to the HARTLEY BABY ADOPTION FUND that is set up at our Credit Union!

About Me

I'm a 24 years old foster mom to three kiddos ages 3 and under. Not too long ago I felt that I knew what life was going to be like. I would have a full time job, 2 kids, a house, and two dogs. Like most things in life, we do not always get what we dream of, but I can say that I have been given more than I could ever imagine for myself. I'm here to share my experiences--the good, the bad, and the ugly--and in turn I hope to inspire you and bring hope to your life.
